Du xing yue qiu

I had never heard about this 2022 Chinese sci-fi comedy movie titled "Du Xing Yue Qiu" (aka "Moon Man") before sitting down to watch it here in 2023. So I didn't know what I was in for here, and I didn't really have much of any expectations. However, the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, plus the fact that it was an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen, was more than sufficient to make me sit down and watch it.

Writers Chiyu Zhang, Chenguang Qian, Si'ao Dai, Yuyue Shen and Seok Jo put together a really enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline. And I will say that I was more than genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 122 minutes that the movie ran for. Thumbs up to the writers on the script that they conjured up for "Du Xing Yue Qiu".

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, though I have to say that leading actor Teng Shen (playing Yue) put on a stellar performance and really carried the movie quite well. The entire cast in the movie put on good jobs, thought it was mostly Teng Shen on the screen.

The kangaroo that joined Yue on the screen was also a very lovable character and one that also came to play a big part in the movie. It had so much character and personality that you just can't help but love it.

There is a good amount of comedy, thrills, excitement and character development throughout the 122 minutes that the movie ran for, and director Chiyu Zhang really managed to utilize these elements rather well to build up the story and the characters.

Visually then "Du Xing Yue Qiu" was quite amazing. The special effects and CGI in the movie really were great and added a lot to the overall presentation of the movie. I was really impressed with how great the CGI looked and how realistic it looked. Sure, there were some issues about how gravity, or rather the low gravity, on the moon works, but hey, it wasn't a science-fact movie, now was it?

Regardless of whether you enjoy Chinese cinema or not, then "Du Xing Yue Qiu" is a sci-fi comedy that is well worth sitting down and spending 122 minutes on watching. It really is an amazing surprise of a movie, not to mention a really enjoyable movie as well.

This is without a doubt a movie that I warmly recommend you to sit down and watch, should you get the opportunity to do so. I am not normally overly keen on sci-fi movies in general, but I really genuinely enjoyed this movie from director Chiyu Zhang.

My rating of director Chiyu Zhang's 2022 movie "Du Xing Yue Qiu" lands on an nine out of ten stars.

This is one of the best films i've seen in years.

This is a very funny film with loads more to it than just a comedy.

The special effects are next level and make the action sequences stunning. The music is perfect, the acting is amazing and comedy timing is spot on.

The story successfully moves from comedy masterclass to heartwarming thriller and you'll be talking about it for days i bet. I will be.

It reminded me of cross between Red Dwarf and The Martian, i consider that very high praise. I'd happily watch this again with friends and enjoy them bursting with laughter again and again.

Only a couple of gags didn't get translated and i feel i missed a big one. No spoilers, but i'd like to know what the symbol was on Earth.

Chiyu Zhang is a director to watch out for and the cast was perfect.

Watch this film! You'll love it!

Wonderfully enjoyable and suitable for the whole family, Moon Man is what I had hoped for from The Martian: The jokes are better, the science is good (enough), and the main character is far more likeable, with many moments of laughter and genuine emotion.

In a packed house of mostly Chinese viewers, everyone was having such a good time that even after 2 hours, no one budged from their seat when the end credits started appearing. The woman behind me must have said "oh my god!" to the events on screen at least a dozen times. The film is silly and fun in a way that you simply don't see in Hollywood any more.

Also, major props to the CGI and strong direction! There were so many downright beautiful scenes, taking full advantage of the space setting! This is definitely one to catch on the big screen, if at all possible!

I didn't expect to like this movie, but it was actually very fun to watch.

It felt like it was on the brink of being unfunny, but still remained funny, which is much more than most movies that I've seen this year. This movie also was moving, but it did feel a bit blown out of proportion.

I actually enjoyed all the stuff with Kong, which i expected to be extremely annoying and stupid.

It was just a fun little movie to watch, that may feel extremely long. For some reason, this film felt like it was like 3 hours long, which was fine, since it was an enjoyable experience.

I would give this a 7/10.

If you are looking for a fun night from a top class Chinese Sci-fi Comedy movie. This is the one!

This is one of the most highly expected movie with one of the funniest Chinese comedian Shen Teng and Ma Li who are the leading stars from the Kai Xin Ma Hua Production team. They are my favourite Chinese comedians. And you won't be disappointed at all.

A heartwarming sci-fi comedy about a Chinese astronaut who believes he's the last human alive has revived China's box office in spectacular fashion. Moon Man, directed by Zhang Chiyu of the hit-making comedy troop Mahua FunAge, opened to $148 million over the weekend, including pre-sales, according to data from Artisan Gateway. Local ticketing app Maoyan projects the film to earn over $640 million (RMB 4.34 billion) before it leaves Chinese screens, which would make it the country's sixth-biggest film of all time.

"Moon Man" tells the story of "the last human in the universe" as an astronaut finds himself stranded on the moon after an asteroid wipes out life on earth. It is directed by Zhang Chiyu, who previously directed 2017 sports comedy hit "Never Say Die." It was produced by Mahua FunAge, a consistently successful comedy production firm.
